f. II. Thomas, who was charged with
obtaining money under untrue pretenses,
is a badly-wronged man, his principal
accuser failing at the decisive moment to
furnish conclusive evidence as to any
really fraudulent intent of the prisoner,
who, therefore, was dismissed by Alder

tions are generally paramount to all
other similar affairs in this part of the
country.
